The new Warner Bros. Pictures film, set in J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world takes place decades before Harry Potter first arrived at Hogwarts. It follows the adventures of magizoologist Newt Scamander and is set in New York in 1926.

Through Street View you can visit New York in 1926 as brought to life in the film, as well as the real locations today. Fans can visit MACUSA (Magical Congress of the USA); Steen National Bank, where Newt first meets Jacob Kowalski; the underground speakeasy The Blind Pig; and the magical apartment of Tina and Queenie Goldstein, two of the film’s key characters.
